Happy staff, nice service, updated and updated rooms. I enjoyed bangers, hot waffles, jam, butter and tea for breakfast, overall it was exceptional. Mesmerizing view of pool. Main bar with branded drinks. There were very good internet and ample parking available.

Always an exceptional experience, I would stay here again. The location is VERY PRETTY, the stuff is incredibly polite, and the hotel is accommodating. A short walk to the secluded beach. The view is picturesque and the pool is lovely.
